You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everyone ought to exercise. Everybody outght to move. Physical activity is for each and every one of us. Is 5K running or rappelling up a cliff required? Not at all! Walking is superb. Muscle strengthening is superb. Gardening when the season is suitable is amazing. No gyms are even necessary for the physical activity that will keep you feeling good. If a knee or back injury happens – and they do to the best of us! – your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is ready to get you back to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the common issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON
A study done in Finland in 2017 followed the physical activity participation of 18-64 year olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers discovered that the 18-64 year olds met the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 42% of men and 39% of women – better than the 65+ year olds – 26% men and 20% women. What were the most popular interests people performed throughout the year? Cleaning/maintenance work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they perform most consistently all year irrespective of age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming, skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season dependent. The researchers ultimately came to the conclusion that there are particular conditioning activities people will do. Suggestions for physical activity recommendations must incorporate those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is confident our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and their families can agree physical activities to do any time of year! Heck, even in snow, a good snowball toss can inspire activity!
OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They’re really like us though their training may be a bit more on the intense side. Elite athletes like the Olympians cope with pain and depression and keep going. A study of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games revealed that 32.4% report pain today, and 35.9% report current functional limitations due to their Olympics’ days. Knee (20.6% lasting for a median of 120 days) and lumbar spine (13.1% continuing for 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians suffered in their training days. Depression was recounted by 6.6% of them.
